I need help with an outfit

Yana · Dooney & Bourke

I love the pants. If you're wearing them with those cute pumps as on the picture - I don't think those pumps work with those pants. I'd think of a tank top or halter or sleeveless top or sleeveless blouse - the proportion of the body would be balanced then, blouse with the sleeves might be heavy for this high waist. Can have pin tucks/ruffles around neckline. Probably in white/off white/pale yellow/pale blue/pale pink/pale peach, i think that light color top will be more flattering here then dark navy.

Kelly · Hermes

I'd do some chunky-heeled pumps, and a top like this (not necessarily this color), sort of like what Yana was saying I think:

If you wanted something on top of that, I recently saw this blogger tie her cardi in an interesting way, although I haven't been able to try it myself yet:

Suasoria · Chanel

Red, yellow, or orange on top would be nice.

Yana · Dooney & Bourke

Oh, I love this top, where did you find it?

Re: chunky heels - I don't think she can, since on the picture it looks like the pants were hemmed to be worn with either a flat or 1 1/2" - 1" maximum heel, with the heel the hem won't hit the floor & the pants will look awkward in length.

Boots · Gucci

I like the idea of wearing yellow with them. Of course, I'm having a hard time finding anything in yellow to use as an example!

If you wanted to try white or navy, something with interesting detail might work.

chicteacher · BCBG

I have always liked the color fuschia with navy and white.

gossipgirl · Dooney & Bourke

I like thew idea of doing a color on top too. Fushia or bright orange

jettie · Kate Spade

I'm a big fan of fushia with navy/white too. Cute pants!

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

Thanks so much ladies. I think I will go with a bright colored, sleeveless top. The pants are made to me worn with low heels. Unfortunately, there is not a deep enough hem to let them out. I don't like the flats I have with them. I just threw them on for the pic. What do you think about these shoes with the pants?

OR in white?

Yana · Dooney & Bourke

I like both, but white seems to be a little more chic & will pop as a color. But nude will work too.

alb · Marc Jacobs

i like the brown better, these would work as well as the silver thongs/flip flops you posted in the other post. i also like the idea of fuschia with it, or yellow, but not red as i think it would look to patriotic.
